What is a anconda?

An anaconda is a large, non-venomous snake species belonging to the genus Eunectes, native to South America. They are among the heaviest and longest snakes in the world, with the green anaconda being the largest. Anacondas are primarily found in swamps, marshes, and slow-moving streams, where they hunt for prey such as fish, birds, and mammals. Their powerful bodies allow them to constrict and subdue large animals, making them formidable predators in their aquatic habitats.
